A Bill of Exceptions.


The cable tramway company, through
its attorney, has filed bill of exceptions
in the United States court to the report
of the commissioners appointed to ascer
tam the damages to the horse railway
company by the operation of the cable
line on the same streets The bill of ex-
ceptions Is lengthy, and objects to the
commissioners finding of $S,632.52
against the tramway company by reason
of their line making the horse car tracks
inaccessible. If there is any such inac-
cessibility, the bill holds, it does not in
law entltle the horse car company to
damages, as the cable company has the
same right to construct tracks upon the
city thoroughfares as the horse car COM
pany has. Further, the commissioners
have not stated in what respect the loca-
ton of the cable lines outside the horse
car tracks has interfered with the &C.
cess to horse cars; that the
estimate of damages is made
upon the estimated profits of the horse
car company at present and IN the future,
whereas if there was any damage accru-
ing from difficulty in reaching the horse
car tracks it should be based upon actual
damage to the horse car company as
street railway line.
The commissioners found that the num-
ber of passengers carried by the horse
railway on Tenth street, where the line
is paralleled, is 1850 daily, and the rev.
enue S633O; that of this rs per cent
would go to the cable company and only
20 per cent to the horse COMPANY; that
70 per cent of the passengers diverted
would be the result of competition and
30 per cent the result of inaccessibility.
Applying the same rule to Twentieth
street, between Cass and Cunning, where
the line is again paraHeled, the commits
sloners fixed the total manages at S23 65 a
| day, or IS, 632 90 per anpum. The bill of
exceptions says that the commissioners
should have found hat OF the horse rail
way passengers on Tenth street not more
| the line is paralleleds And ,235 at other
points, mostly at the depot also that on
| Twentieth street not mbre than 2 per
cent get on or off where'the line is par
| alieled.
| The bill says the above sum must be
| paid tor thirty years and that the com
| mlssioners have no authority to assess
damages for that length of time; that if
] there are any damages they should be
based on actual depreciation of
property; that damages cannot be
assessed for inaccessibilty until the cable
line is in actual operation; that the
| amount of damages assessed would in
thirty years reach S25S, S,96750 q sum
| grossly excessive; that the commissioners
should have reported that the cable com,
.pany was willing to allow the horse car
company TO use its'tracks on. Twentieth
street without hindrance; that the find
ings of the commissioners are Illegal.
Wherefore the Judgment of the court is
/ appealed TO. = =:

the bill of, exceptions will be taken up

The board of fire and police commits

Mowcher. 1t certainly would be absurd
to attempt to earn great deal by knit
ting, and yet good double mittens sell
for a dollar pair. Farmers, as class,
live well and dress as well as there is
any occasion for, often better, and may
have all the culture they have time
for. The resources for good living
and making money are much greater
than fifty years ago. Why there are so
many mortgaged farms and deserted
homesteads l do not pretend to know,
for it does not come under the head of
my experience, but it is serious fact.
l would not be unjust to the young
people, and my observation may be too
limited, but why do not more young
couples settle down on the farm, es-
pecially now, when farms can be bought
so cheaply and railroads are bringing
a market nearer every year, and why
are so many in fever of anxiety to
sell and go to the cities or business
centers. Perhaps because of debt, but
why should they not be be able to avoid
debts now, as well as formerly, if it is
not that they let the outgoes be larger
than there is need of. Out of respect
